¹

Then I looked, and, behold, over the firmament that was above the head of the cherubs there was a likeness of a throne over them, as a sapphire stone.

¹

И ви́дѣхъ, и се́, верху́ тве́рди су́щія надъ главо́ю херуві́мовъ, я́ко ка́мень сапфі́ровый, подо́біє престо́ла на ни́хъ.

²

And he said to the man clothed with the long robe, Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubs, and fill thine hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

²

И рече́ къ му́жу облече́ному во у́тварь: вни́ди средѣ́ коле́съ, я́же подъ херуві́мами, и напо́лни го́рсти твоя́ у́глія о́гненнаго от среды́ херуві́мовъ и разсы́пли на гра́дъ. И вни́де предо мно́ю:

³

And the cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, as the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

³

херуві́ми же стоя́ху одесну́ю до́му, внегда́ вхожда́ше му́жъ, и о́блакъ напо́лни дво́ръ вну́тренній.

⁴

Then the glory of the Lord departed from the cherubs to the porch of the house; and the cloud filled the house, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.

⁴

И воздви́жеся сла́ва Госпо́дня от херуві́мовъ въ непокрове́ніє до́му, и напо́лни до́мъ о́блакъ, и дво́ръ напо́лнися сія́нія сла́вы Госпо́дни:

⁵

And the sound of the cherubs' wings was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God speaking.

⁵

и гла́съ кри́лъ херуві́мскихъ слы́шашеся да́же до внѣ́шняго двора́, я́коже гла́съ Бо́га саддаі́ глаго́лющаго.

⁶

And it came to pass, when he gave a charge to the man clothed with the sacred robe, saying, Take fire from between the wheels from between the cherubs, that he went in, and stood near the wheels.

⁶

И бы́сть внегда́ заповѣ́даше му́жу облече́ному во у́тварь святу́ю, глаго́ля: возми́ о́гнь от среды́ коле́съ, и́же средѣ́ херуві́мовъ. И вни́де и ста́ бли́зъ коле́съ.

⁷

And he stretched forth his hand into the midst of the fire that was between the cherubs, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of the man clothed with the sacred robe: and he took it, and went out.

⁷

И простре́ херуві́мъ ру́ку свою́ въ среди́ну огня́ су́щаго средѣ́ херуві́мовъ, и взя́ и вдаде́ въ ру́цѣ оболче́ному во у́тварь святу́ю, и взя́ и изы́де.

⁸

And I saw the cherubs having the likeness of men's hands under their wings.

⁸

И ви́дѣхъ херуві́мы, и се́, подо́біє ру́къ человѣ́чихъ подъ кри́лы и́хъ.

⁹

And I saw, and behold, four wheels stood by the cherubs, one wheel by each cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of a carbuncle stone.

⁹

И ви́дѣхъ, и се́, четы́ри коле́са стоя́ху держа́щеся херуві́мовъ: ко́ло єди́но держа́шеся єди́наго херуві́ма, и ко́ло єди́но держа́шеся друга́го херуві́ма: взо́ръ же коле́съ я́коже взо́ръ ка́менія Анѳра́кса:

¹⁰

And as for their appearance, there was one likeness to the four, as if there should be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.

¹⁰

и взо́ръ и́хъ подо́біє єди́но четы́ремъ, а́кибы бы́ло ко́ло въ колеси́:

¹¹

When they went, they went on their four sides; they turned not when they went, for whichever way the first head looked, they went; and they turned not as they went.

¹¹

внегда́ идя́ху, на четы́ри ча́сти и́хъ идя́ху, и не обраща́хуся внегда́ идя́ху: я́ко, на не́же мѣ́сто а́ще зря́ше нача́ло єди́но, идя́ху [вслѣ́дъ єго́], и не обраща́хуся, внегда́ ити́ и́мъ.

¹²

And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about the four wheels.

¹²

Вся́ же тѣлеса́ и́хъ и хребты́ и́хъ, и ру́цѣ и́хъ и кри́ла и́хъ и коле́са по́лна оче́съ о́крестъ четы́рехъ коле́съ.

¹³

And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing.

¹³

Коле́самъ же си́мъ воззва́ся ге́лгель, слы́шащу мнѣ́.

¹⁵

And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river of Chobar.

¹⁴

Четы́ри же ли́ца коєму́ждо и́хъ: єди́ному лице́ херуві́мле, лице́ же друго́му лице́ человѣ́чо, тре́тіє же лице́ льво́во и четве́ртоє лице́ о́рлеє.

¹⁶

And when the cherubs went, the wheels went, and they were close to them: and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, their wheels turned not.

¹⁵

И взя́шася херуві́ми: сіє́ є́сть живо́тноє, є́же ви́дѣхъ на рѣцѣ́ Хова́ръ.

¹⁷

When they stood, the wheels stood; and when they mounted up, the wheels mounted up with them: because the spirit of life was in them.

¹⁶

И єгда́ идя́ху херуві́ми, идя́ху и коле́са и́хъ, и сі́и держа́хуся и́хъ: и внегда́ воздвиза́ху херуві́ми кри́ла своя́, є́же возвы́ситися от земли́, не обраща́хуся коле́са и́хъ, и та́ держа́хуся и́хъ:

¹⁸

Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs.

¹⁷

єгда́ стоя́ху ті́и, стоя́ху и они́, и внегда́ возвыша́хуся ті́и, возвыша́хуся и они́ съ ни́ми: зане́ ду́хъ жи́зни бѣ́ въ ни́хъ.

¹⁹

And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went forth, the wheels were also beside them, and they stood at the entrance of the front gate of the house of the Lord; and the glory of the God of Israel was upon them above.

¹⁸

И изы́де сла́ва Госпо́дня от непокрове́нія до́му и взы́де на херуві́мы.

²⁰

This is the living creature which I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chobar; and I knew that they were cherubs.

¹⁹

И воздвиго́ша херуві́ми кри́ла своя́ и возвы́сишася от земли́ предо мно́ю: єгда́ изыдо́ша ті́и, и коле́са держа́хуся и́хъ: и ста́ша надъ преддве́ріємъ вра́тъ до́му Госпо́дня, я́же проти́ву восто́ку, и сла́ва Го́спода Бо́га Ізра́илева бѣ́ надъ ни́ми свы́ше.

²¹

Each one had four faces, and each one had eight wings; and under their wings was the likeness of men's hands.

²⁰

Сіє́ живо́тноє є́сть, є́же ви́дѣхъ подъ Бо́гомъ Ізра́илевымъ на рѣцѣ́ Хова́ръ, и позна́хъ, я́ко херуві́ми су́ть.

²²

And as for the likeness of their faces, these are the same faces which I saw under the glory of the God of Israel by the river of Chobar: and they went each straight forward.

²¹

Четы́ри ли́ца єди́ному, и четы́ри кри́ла єди́ному, и подо́біє ру́къ человѣ́чихъ подъ кри́лы и́хъ.
